"All Hail Princess Rosy". The crowd was shouting in joy. Rosy was dressed in a milk white long Frock and was wearing a crown with sparkling diamonds. She wore a laced glove with glitters on it and her shoes shined like white marble.
She was feeling all happy and her parents came and hugged her. Suddenly she felt she couldn't hug them. She got sad. She opened her eyes. It was all a dream. She sat up on the bed. She felt she missed her mother a lot.
She went to the nearby table and had a glass of water. She felt bit fine now. She opened the door of her room and saw outside. It was a long corridor and there was a small dim light on the top of it. The ceiling had small pictures of stars which twinkled.
She felt she was under a real sky. She walked along the corridor. She wanted to go to the eagle. She felt comfortable when the eagle is near her. She knew the eagle stayed in the ground floor of the Lions house.
She walked downstairs. There were 8 rooms in total. She walked along all the rooms. She could not guess which room was occupied by the eagle. She could not knock at the doors of the room too. She would be disturbing them all in their sleep.
She decided to go to the garden to walk for sometime. When she went to the garden she saw the eagle standing there. She ran to it and hugged it. "Rosy dear. Why are you awake? You will spoil your health. Please go and sleep. You have to solve the next puzzle too." The eagle said.
"I cannot sleep Eagle. I miss my mother a lot. I feel so bad on leaving her at my village back. I want to go to her. "She said. The eagle looked at her and made her sit in its lap and gently told her," Rosy you need to understand certain things. It's a lesson for you each day here. Once you learn all these lessons by your experience, you will become the greatest Princess ever lived on earth."
"What will I learn everyday? There is no teacher here. "Rosy said. The Eagle laughed and said," You have learnt two important lessons here so far. First, always tell the truth. It will give you rewards. You told the truth that Ada was the first one to solve it. And see now you are also declared the winner. You are rewarded for speaking the truth.
Second, you learn to do your things without your mother now. You are growing up to be a big girl and now doing things on your own will help you as you grow. You are getting independent. "
Rosy looked at the eagle and said, " Yes I made my bed today and tied my hair on my own. Usually mother does it for me. "
" Good. " replied the eagle." Everyday is a new Lesson. Learn something good daily. It will help you. Now go and sleep. You will have to solve the puzzle tomorrow. "
Rosy was relieved now. She said good night to the eagle and went to her room. She slept peacefully. Morning dawned. She got up and got ready and came eagerly to the living room of the lion. The lion was making fruit juices for everyone. It smiled when Rosy came in and said Good morning.
"Good morning Rosy. Have fruits and juice and be ready to get your clue for the next puzzle."The lion said. Rosy got little nervous but she turned and saw the eagle coming near her. She felt comfortable now. She drank her juice and had an apple, orange and a pear.
She then went to the lion to ask for the next clue. The lion looked at her and said, "Rosy, read the puzzle carefully and solve it. Do not discuss your answers with others like you did last time."
"Sure lion. I won't make the same mistake again. I will solve it properly."Rosy said and got up to get the clue from the lion. The lion handed a small piece of paper to her. She couldn't wait to read it and she opened it immediately.
"TAKE 4 STEPS IN THE GARDEN IN THE DIRECTION WHERE SUN RISES. FROM THERE TAKE 5 STEPS IN THE DIRECTION WHERE THE SUN SETS. TAKE 6 STEPS ON YOUR LEFT. NOW ADD ALL THE STEPS YOU HAVE TAKEN SO FAR AND WALK THEM ON YOUR RIGHT. YOU WILL FIND ME. "
Rosy gets so excited and rushes to the garden. All the girls are seen there with their animals with the piece of the clue the Lion had given them. She gets so nervous on seeing them. She prays she has to finish them fast before the other girls do.
She goes to a place and starts reading the puzzle again. "You don't cry now. I will see what I can do for you." She turned at the voice. It belonged to the Giraffe and Betty was standing near it. She turned to her. Betty was crying so badly. Rosy felt sad.
She rushed to Betty and took her hand and asked why was she crying. She said she did not know the directions at all. Her mother tried to teach her but she wouldn't listen. Now she cannot solve the puzzle at all.
Rosy tried to stop her crying and said "You can always win the next puzzle. Don't worry. You take this day as a lesson and learn your directions properly."
But Betty was still crying. Rosy decided to leave her and start solving the puzzle. She read the paper again. 'The direction where the sun rises' . Its East. She took 4 steps in the east. Then she looked at the paper again. 'The direction where the sun sets' . It's West. She took 5 Steps in West. 'Take 6 steps on your left' . She took 6 steps. 'Now add all the steps so far and take them on your right.' She started adding.
4 + 5 gives 9. Then 9 + 6 gives 15. She took 15 steps on her right. She saw a small brown box on a stone nearby. She was about to take it when Betty ran in front of her and took the box. Rosy gets shocked. She saw that Betty will be the winner of this puzzle. She wanted to cry. Suddenly she thought how Betty would have completed that when she did not know the directions.
She went to her. "Betty I see you have completed the puzzle first. I too completed. But tell me how did you manage when you did not know the directions." Betty did not reply. She looked so pale.She just opened the box. It had a piece of paper in which was written, "CONGRATS YOU ARE THE WINNER".
She looked both happy and sad. The Lion came to Betty and saw that she had the box. It congratulated her. Rosy was standing near and looked as if she was about to cry.
Betty suddenly gave the box to Rosy and said, "Lion I am sorry. I took shortcuts which was against the rule. The Giraffe was tall and could look over a long distance. It can see where any object was placed and told me to take this box. I did not know the directions. So I could not solve the puzzle."
The Lion smiled at her and said, "It takes courage to tell the truth. I appreciate you." It turned to Rosy. "It seems you are the winner again Rosy. Congratulations." Rosy was so happy and jumped in joy.
She thought about what the eagle told her the previous night. Lessons to be learnt every day. She felt she learnt two important lessons today also.
1) Never take shortcuts in your work. Always work hard.
2) Always pay attention to what is taught to you. It will help you any day.
Congrats Rosy and thank you. We are also learning good lessons from you.

Like the way you have organized the episodes with the Nanimas tales... I bet the next episode will involve Charlotte in some way! :)
